# ATAS Bridge — Full Product Description

> One-time 99 USD lifetime license. Bridges ATAS signals to any MT4/MT5 broker in real time.

## Overview

ATAS Bridge is desktop trading software that connects the ATAS order-generation platform to any broker that supports MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. The product forwards generated trading signals from ATAS to MT4/MT5 with sub-millisecond latency, enabling traders to use ATAS as a strategy/execution layer while keeping MT4/MT5 as the broker interface.

The product exists for one reason: ATAS's own built-in broker bridge is limited to certain brokers and requires broker-specific configuration. ATAS Bridge replaces that with a generic, vendor-agnostic bridge that works with any MT4/MT5-compatible broker out of the box.

## Installation

1. Download the installer for your platform from `https://ziyinghuixuan.com/en`

## Usage

After installation and login:
- ATAS Bridge runs as a background service on the same machine as your ATAS + MT4/MT5 platforms
- Signals generated in ATAS are forwarded to MT4/MT5 automatically
- The active bound device is the machine running the bridge

To bind a different device (e.g., new computer):
1. Contact support with your account email
2. Pay the USD 10 device-change fee
3. Support manually rebinds your license to the new machine

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How much does ATAS Bridge cost?

99 USD, one-time payment. The license is valid for the lifetime of the product. No subscription, no renewal. Payment is accepted in USDT (TRC20).

### Can I change my bound device?

Yes. Each license is bound to one machine. To switch devices, contact support and pay USD 10 per change. The rebind is processed manually.

### Does ATAS Bridge support my broker?

ATAS Bridge works with any broker that supports MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. It writes to the standard MT data directory and does not require broker-specific plugins.

### Does ATAS Bridge work on macOS / Linux?

Yes. The app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

### Is there a free trial?

No. The license is one-time and inexpensive; a free trial would add operational complexity without significantly reducing purchase risk.

### Why USDT only?

One-time USDT payments keep the payment surface simple (no PCI, no card-on-file, no subscription billing system) and reduce ongoing fraud risk.
